Monitoring using passive diffusion tubes at a site in Buxton revealed the possibility of the National Air Quality Objectives being exceeded. Derbyshire Dales District Council after undertaking additional monitoring undertook a Detailed Assessment to establish if an AQMA should be declared. The recommendation of this assessment was that it should be declared, and consequently, this was approved by the Community and Environment Committee on 7 April 2021. A declaration was made on 5 May 2021.
